I know how escrow works. But in this scenario copyright + watermarks are the only protection. Escrow is pointless and doesn't make any difference in this case.

They started to accept BTC in August and raised BTC237 in the first week, which was pretty good result.

That doesn't sound right. I'd always use singular for fractions less than one.

0.4 apple - singular, as it's shorter version of "four tenth of an apple" not apples


Aint nobody carez for your rulez!

How would the escrow work in this case? You submit your logo, he says he doesn't like it, BTC return to him from escrow, he uses the logo anyways.
Same risk as without an escrow.

I did some experimenting with freebitco.in new 'Advertise' feature and have mixed feelings.

I created and tested few banner ads, my stats for the best of them are:

Views: 13,703  Clicks: 43  Total cost: BTC0.00904398.

They charge for views not for clicks, so basically I've got:

1 click for every 319 views and cost per click of BTC0.00021

Didn't manage to convert it to profit, but didn't really expect to, since it's a small, experimental run.

I don't have much experience in advertising, so my question is: Are the above results good/poor/average?

What are your opinions on freebitco.in as advertising tool? I like how easy it is to set up and manage a campaign, but I'm bit concerned about the quality of their audience. Since most of them are looking to get tiny amounts from faucet, their not likely to be holding/operating with reasonable amounts of bitcoin, which doesn't really make them 'valuable customers'.

Is it worth it? Are there any better alternatives (working in a similar way)?

No to pieknie.

Ponoc nowo zarejestrowani uzytkownicy maja wydluzony czas oczekiwania na potwierdzenie depozytu (x1.5), moze o to chodzilo.

Zalezy od waluty. Jesli masz "... out of 4" to zapewne 4.

Don't see it work for toasters and freezers, but it could be possible for an electric air heaters. Instead of classic heating mechanism, you could use optimised/integrated ASICs to provide the heat. The only question is power consumption, if it's significantly higher than for classic heater, then it's pointless.

By general consensus that gold is precious and valuable?

It's probably possible to set a decentralised 'backing' if it relates to other intangible/digital asset.

Yes, backing bitcoin with physical goods would require trust (to the 'backer') but that won't necessarily make bitcoin centralised. Anyone can really back bitcoin with anything. For example, I can publically promise/oblige myself (making formal signed off statement, with all my details etc) to exchange 1 paperclip for 1 bitcoin. Each full bitcoin would be officially backed with one paperclip (as long as I'm alive), but that won't make it centralised. It won't make any difference whatsoever, other than no one could say that "bitcoin has no intrinsic value" anymore.

It's pretty easy: "two bitcoins" plural. The same rule as saying "I've got two coins" not "two coin"

OK, cool. Thanks for replying.

Sounds like good deal for affiliates (maybe except for the fraction-of-satoshi-rounded-to-zero thing). Although, think it'd be better if op was getting his cut of the commission from every bet, creating more sustainable model etc.

@SafeDice, it's a long shot, but do you have any promo banners by any chance? Ideally 468*60px or similar. No worries if not.

OK, got bit confused here regarding commission/referral payments.

Long story short - is it the same (or similar) system PRCdice have? You take commission on every bet (win or lose) and share a % of that commission with referrer? 

So it's today. Nearly forgot. Sent some small donation, hope that helps.

It would be useful if the website for bitcoin giving Tuesday had a donation link/address. It only has 'Join the movement' button which asks for the name/email. So I just went to official BitGive website and donated to: 1PEoUKNxTZsc5rFSQvQjeTVwDE9vEDCRWm

That's slightly different.

Still may be the first birth paid for in bitcoins, which doesn't sound that specular as most births are free (public hospitals).

Anyhow, good to see a wider adoption of BTC.

Think we need to fix the sigs.

They're bit messed up in Opera browser (for every rank).
In firefox, senior sigs don't look as they should.
All looks fine in IE.
Not sure about other browsers.

Lol BAC, is there anything you don't sell?

On the subject, I would strongly prefer solid silver wallet (or anything) than gold-plated, which I always perceived as bit cheap or fake. Just my opinion though.

Silver is not that expensive but it's still a precious metal and, if it's solid, it works as store of value (even if it's a small value).

A quick follow up.

According to bitcoin.pl, one couple have chosen that hospital (Medicover, Warsaw) for the birth of their child and they'll be paying for the service with bitcoins.

So probably it's the first case like this in history.

It was presented as a 'news flash' not a full article, so cannot provide a link.
